Course Review and Comments

Excellent course and layout, Greg Norman's only Low Country design. Starts out slowly enough with 2 good par 4's and boring par 3 - then comes 3 very solid and risk/reward holes with teeth. By now you know Norman not fooling around, next comes a 190yd par 3 and a short dogleg par 5. You finish front 9 with a serious dogleg par 4 with a false front green - tough!
The back 9 meanders closer to the Okatie river and sound with a testy well bunkered par 4 another short par 5 (over water on a forced drive) and Norman's signature (do I try to drive it) flanked by water and traps par 4. At this point you encounter a couple long difficult holes a par 3, par 4 into wind and another forced carry par 3 over all water. Greast finishing hole a long par 5 double dogleg protected by water on shots 2, 3 or 4.

Old South Golf Links epitomizes the beauty of Carolina Lowcountry golf. The course is now offering three vacation packages that also include rounds at your choice of Hampton Hall Club, The Country Club of Hilton Head, Bear Creek G.C., Palmetto Dunes and Sea Pines Resort, plus lodging at the Hilton Garden Inn.
